Qingwangfu, back garden.

Princess Su Xiaoxiao was sitting on the swing, enjoying the breeze. The gust of wind blowing from behind her blew her slender hair a little messy. There was a trace of hair that covered her cheeks and made her look even more charming. As we all know, she is already a woman over thirty years old, and she has been married into Qingwangfu for several years, but she looks like a ten-year-old girl, young and beautiful, charming and moving.

By Su Xiaoxiao's side, there were two maids in black. Their faces all looked a little nervous, probably feeling some kind of pressure. Su Xiaoxiao's identity is relatively special, and their identity is also relatively special. Don't look at Su Xiaoxiao's gentle words, like a spring breeze, harmless to people and animals, but if she gets angry, the consequences will be very serious.

After a moment of silence, Su Xiaoxiao said in a cold tone: "Sure enough, he is a guy who can cause trouble, and he actually killed Tian Ergeng and Xu Xianchun!" Doesn't he know that these two people are not only Jinyiwei's people, but also the hidden stakes of our East Factory? This guy wouldn't have killed someone suddenly when he learned that the two of them had a close relationship with our Dongchang, right? Could it be that there are also masters in Jinyiwei? Want to borrow a knife to kill? Eradicate the wings of our East Factory? ”

The black-clothed maid on the left whispered, "Probably not." Wang Qinian has been staying in the prairie for the past 20 years and has never returned to the capital. Regarding the current situation of Tian Ergeng and Xu Xianchun, he should only know the approximate, and it is impossible to know the details. This Xu Xingxia, even his identity as the captain of the Jinyi Guard, was done through Wang Qinian's way, and it is impossible for him to know more inside information. The riot killings are probably for personal vendettas. ”

Su Xiaoxiao frowned and said, "You're not right! Since Xu Xingxia got the identity of a captain of Jinyiwei for himself through Wang Qinian's way, it shows that he is still a little interested in the organization of Jinyiwei. It is estimated that at some point, he also wants to borrow the identity of Jinyiwei to seek benefits for himself. It's just that why did he kill Tian Ergeng and Xu Xianchun? There's no need! Could it be that he really wanted to avenge Wang Qi? ”

After a pause, Su Xiaoxiao said again: "Xiaoqin, has there been any progress on the matter I asked you to investigate?" Twenty years ago, on the Korean battlefield, between the three of them, what really happened? Why does it feel wrong the more I think about it? In twenty years, what kind of hatred can't be let go? Is there really a deep hatred between the three of them? ”

The black-clothed maid named Xiaoqin on the right said: "Niangniang, I have personally asked the hundreds of households who have been to the Korean battlefield for many years. However, from them, I did not get any valuable information. What is certain is that at that time, Wang Qinian, Tian Ergeng, and Xu Xianchun acted together. Their action team, with three other people, was killed in battle, and there were no descendants. ”

Su Xiaoxiao frowned and said: "The investigation can't be relaxed, it has to be strengthened!" You go directly to my godfather and ask him to transfer all the relevant information archived by the Jinyi Wei Experience Department in the name of the admiral eunuch of Dongchang, and collect another hundred documents to carefully look for relevant clues. I don't believe that there will be no record of the actions of the three of them back then. ”

Xiaoqin, the maid in black, hurriedly said, "Understood! When the slave and maid go back, they immediately start to do it! ”

Another black-clothed maid said in a low voice: "Niangniang, Xiaoqi doesn't understand a little, why don't we just send someone and find a way to arrest Wang Qinian?" As long as you ask Wang Qinian in person, won't everything be clear? No matter how powerful Xu Xingxia is, it is impossible to guard Wang Qinian's side all the time, right? ”

Su Xiaoxiao looked at her sideways, obviously disappointed in her eyes. She suddenly sneered, and said in a cold tone: "Since this is the case, I will give you the task and let you catch Wang Qinian!" There is no time limit, when you catch it, you will make a great contribution! ”

Xiaoqi was about to agree, but Xiaoqin suddenly quietly touched her hand. Xiaoqi is also a smart person, and he felt that something was wrong, so he hurriedly said: "Niangniang, Xiaoqi is naïve, please punish Niangniang." ”

Su Xiaoxiao smiled coldly, his eyes were gloomy, and he said eloquently: "What am I punishing you for?" Now that the task has been given to you, you can figure out how to complete it yourself. If you can't complete the task, don't come to see me. You don't understand the rules of our East Factory! If you don't want to be punished, just do your best! Go for it! ”

Xiao Qi's face suddenly turned gray, and he felt as if he had fallen into the mire, and he couldn't climb out. Now she has just woken up, if Wang Qinian is so easy to catch, where does Su Xiaoxiao have to wait until now? He had already been arrested and tortured. It can be seen that there must be something terrible in this, which makes Su Xiaoxiao dare not move.

Now, I have accepted this task, and it is estimated that it will be worse than that. Thinking of Xu Xingxia's terrible, she couldn't help but feel a little frightened. It is said that Old Demon Xu kills people, but he is quite neat. The Tartars he killed with his own hands alone numbered in the hundreds. Not to mention the profile kills. However, in front of Su Xiaoxiao, she didn't dare to show it. I had no choice but to leave with Xiaoqin and go on my own errands.

Su Xiaoxiao gently swung the swing a few times, and suddenly shouted again: "Little book!" ”

Another black-clothed maid hurriedly appeared and said respectfully: "Niangniang! ”

Su Xiaoxiao said cautiously: "Inform Xiaohua, pay attention to hiding, and don't let Xu Xingxia discover his true identity." This Xu Xingxia is definitely not as simple as it seems on the surface. If the errand can't be completed, forget it, don't force it. ”

The little book of the maid in black agreed.

The back garden soon returned to its former calm.

Su Xiaoxiao was swinging, looking up at the blue sky and white clouds, and said to himself: "Xu Xingxia, Xu Xingxia, you are really a little exciting!" If one day, you really embark on the road of rebellion, what kind of performance will you have? ”

…… Ningxia Governor's Yamen, study.

At this moment, Li Maohui is losing his temper. He stared at the person in front of him with a gloomy face, and almost scolded: "War, war, war requires money and food, where does the money come from, where does the food come from?" You, the chief officer, are an idiot! Please use your mind to think about it, how much money and food do you have in your hands? How much money and food do I have? Can this money and food be wasted casually? Those of your subordinates are all rice buckets! ”

The one who was scolded was Li Guozhen, the chief military officer of Ningxia Town. At this moment, he was sitting in front of Li Maohui with his head drooping, less than a foot away from Li Maohui. Li Maohui's scolding saliva almost splashed on his face. Fortunately, Li Maohui was only the chief military officer Li Guozhen by his side. The door to the study was also closed. Otherwise, let outsiders see it, the face of the chief military officer, I really don't know where to put it?

In fact, if there were outsiders here, they would be very stunned. Because, everyone in Ningxia Town knows that Governor Li Maohui and Chief Military Officer Li Guozhen are very incompatible, and the two often dismantle the stage. In public, the two almost never got along. In private, it was also Piri Yangqiu, who pointed out that Sang scolded Huai, and almost didn't stab the other party into the villain. However, the current situation seems to be very intimate. This scolding is obviously wrong! If it weren't for his own people, it would be impossible to scold such things.

Probably scolded by Li Maohui without a head, Li Guozhen felt very unhappy, and said a little unconvinced: "Second brother, don't be mad at me!" What can I say after receiving the report below? Do we not care? Isn't this nonsense? Can I, the chief military officer, care about such a thing? Say, how can this matter be solved? ”

Li Maohui said impatiently: "Let's just say it's their personal grudge, let's not care." ”

Li Guozhen said depressedly: "Do you think the boss will believe it? Personal vendettas? What personal grudges can there be between them? The two of them had just arrived from the capital. Xu Xingxia, on the other hand, was born and raised in Ningxia Town. The three of them can't beat them at all. You say, what personal grudge can there be between them? Or is it the kind of personal vendetta that kills people? I can report it like this, the key is, Huang Kezhang and Zhu Xieyuan have to believe it, right? If it were you, would you be able to believe such a ridiculous report? ”

Li Maohui said frankly: "If you don't believe it, then please send someone to investigate!" Anyway, the incident happened in the manor of King Qing's Mansion, and there are all kinds of human and material evidence, no matter how you want to investigate, there is no problem. Even if someone feels nauseous, it is also a person from Qingwangfu. The final findings, if it is a personal vendetta, have nothing to do with us. If they insist that Xu Xingxia is a rebellion, we just reach out and ask for money and food! ”

Li Guozhen frowned and said: "It's okay if you don't mention money and food, but when you mention money and food, I'm really a little worried." There are so many Tartar heads sent by Xu Xingxia, we can't not honor all of them! There are some people below who speak badly. If the hearts of the people are scattered, it will be difficult for the team to lead. In the future, we have to count on these people to do things! ”

Li Maohui said calmly: "Cash in batches, take your time!" ”

Li Guozhen said again: "By the way, I also heard that another batch of money and grain will be shipped to Liaodong after the year?" Is the message true? I said, we can't just give out such a little inventory in Ningxia Town! What if the boss thinks the time is ripe......"

Li Maohui frowned and interrupted him, and said coldly: "This is not something you should consider!" ”

Li Guozhen was slightly suffocated, obviously a little unconvinced, but in front of Li Maohui, he didn't dare to say anything, so he had to hold back his words back into his mouth.

Lowering his voice, Li Maohui said with concern: "How are your preparations over there?" ”

Li Guozhen was not in a good mood, and said casually perfunctorily: "Fortunately, everything is going well!" ”

Li Maohui sighed slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Zhu Shuaizhen is not a fool, he should be able to detect something." In particular, the matter of Sawanna made him aware of many of our secrets. Speaking of which, it's all your responsibility! Your stupid pig subordinates, knowing that Xu Xingxia is by her side, still want to move, isn't this looking for death? Not to mention wasting more than a dozen hard-earned dead soldiers, it also made Zhu Shuaizhen aware of our actions. ”

Li Guozhen said unconvinced: "Isn't this an arrow on the bow and has to be sent?" ”

Li Maohui frowned and said, "Forget it, even if this matter is over, the boss didn't say anything about you." However, in the future, you have to be careful in whatever you do. Don't forget, Su Xiaoxiao, this woman, is sent by Dongchang, shrewd to death, you better be careful, don't get caught with any evidence, otherwise, we will be passive. ”

Li Guozhen said stupidly: "It's all this damn Xu Xingxia!" It's so damning! ”

Li Maohui shook his spirits and said slowly: "Actually, Xu Xingxia's appearance is not useless, at least, he has now successfully attracted the attention of the imperial court. For the time being, Jinyiwei and Dongchang will focus their energy on him. Because of his existence, it is logical for you to ask the above to ask for people and equipment, money and food, and make preparations in advance. If I cooperate a little here, the people above will definitely not notice. ”

Li Guozhen said casually: "Do we still have to quarrel publicly?" ”

Li Maohui sneered and said, "Aren't you talking nonsense? If you don't quarrel openly with me, can you still stay in Ningxia Town? Or, do you want to transfer away? ”

Li Guozhen nodded and did not speak, but his expression was a little depressed.

Li Maohui comforted and said: "Third child, you have indeed worked hard over the years, and you can see it in the society." The boss is far away in the capital, and he knows everything you do. The boss said, for your credit, after the success, it will definitely not be buried, you can rest assured. ”

Li Guozhen stood up and said goodbye in a daze. When he was about to walk to the door, he was stopped by Li Maohui again. He turned around a little unhappily and complained to Li Maohui: "Otherwise, you let the fourth brother be transferred!" I'm really tired in this position. The fourth child is shrewd and capable, but he was assigned to such a remote place in Gansu Town, and he is not energetic! ”

Li Maohui said unhappily: "The transfer of the chief military officer, do you think it's child's play?" Can you do it casually? This is subject to the Emperor's approval! Even if he is the boss, the most he can do is beat the side drum. This time I inadvertently transferred you and I together, which is already a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Don't talk nonsense anymore, make the boss unhappy in vain, do things with peace of mind! ”

Li Guozhen breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "Why did you stop me?" ”

Li Maohui said: "It's Lin Dan Khan's business. Xu Xingxia snatched Tesna away, and Lin Danhan was very unhappy and made solemn representations to us. I tell you this to remind you that our own strength is not good, and we can rely on external forces. This Xu Xingxia, if we can't deal with him directly, we can consider borrowing a knife to kill people. ”
